Throughout the seasons of our lives, we are presented with life’s obstacles and challenges. Therapy is what guides us through life’s difficulties while acknowledging that we are not alone. I will meet you where you are and be a helping hand through your circumstances. I believe that developing trust and a strong therapeutic relationship are crucial to guiding clients to reach their full potential. Prior to working in private practice, I worked as a school social worker providing therapy and advocating for adolescents, young children, and families. I have also worked with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder for 3 years.
I focus my work with teens, young adults, and adults. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with anxiety, ADHD, self-esteem, Chronic pain/Illness, depression, school-related issues, Autism Spectrum Disorder, emotional disturbances, childhood behavioral challenges, self-harm, suicidality, physical and emotional abuse, and trauma.
